OptiMon image Improving Efficiency in 3G Network Optimization

With the launch of new high-speed data services on 3G networks, optimization teams are quickly finding that what worked in the past is now time-consuming, limiting, and always expensive. Drive Testing is a great example of this.

3G Operators that are exclusively relying on Drive Test for performance management and problem resolution need to quickly consider alternative approaches to remain competitive. Tektronix Communications offers a new approach to Network Optimization with OptiMon – a protocol-based solution that can increase efficiency and productivity while simultaneously lowering costs associated with Drive Test.

OptiMon is an integrated suite of products that gather performance data from all the equipment on the 3G RAN interfaces (Iub, Iu, Iur). Captured data is analyzed to provide KPIs and long term trending analysis. Beyond detecting performance issues, users can also drill down into protocol detail level to determine root cause analysis.

OptiMon’s unique feature set makes Radio Network Optimization and troubleshooting of mobile networks more efficient. At the same time, it provides measurements and analysis results that are not provided by other test tools.

  • Easy

    KPI dashboards and trend analysis are essential in narrowing the scope of the problem and isolating the ultimate root cause. Automatic alarms are notified by the system if any configured threshold has been violated, making the entire process of performance monitoring easier and more productive. Some of the key indicators include breakdown per service (e.g. voice, video, and packet), per network element and per call per subscriber.

  • Fast

    OptiMon's Automatic Reporting and Decision Support Tools for Radio Network Optimization provide ready-to-use specific information critical to Radio Optimization engineers. The availability of automated decision support tools enable optimization engineers to perform their daily tasks more efficiently. They can focus on the most important issues, and ultimately save time on complex optimization tasks.

  • Effective

    OptiMon's functionality helps solve all of those hot issues that cannot be solved using other network optimization tools. Typical problems presented by other approaches range from severe under-sampling, difficulty in reaching indoor areas and a lack of visibility on down-link performances. OptiMon addresses all these issues, making the whole 3G network Optimization process much more effective.
